Education and career

[edit]

Tan read engineering atImperial College and law at theUniversity of Oxford. After working at theEconomic Development Board and theMonetary Authority of Singapore, he joined the faculty of NUS in 1982 and subsequently became a law professor in 2000.[2][3]

In August 2008, Tan was awarded thePublic Service Medal (PBM) during the National Day Awards for his work inlaw reform with theSingapore Academy of Law. When asked to say a few words about the award, he said, "Law reform is tremendously exciting and I am truly thankful to have been given the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the country's most informed and forward legal minds."[4] By 2021, he was the longest-serving member of Singapore Academy of Law's Law Reform Committee.[3]

In 2010, Tan was appointed the inaugural Geoffrey Bartholomew Professor.[5] On his appointment, NUS Law DeanTan Cheng Han noted, "It is befitting that the inaugural appointee is Professor Tan Yock Lin. Besides sharing a deep practice in the law, both Professor Tan and Professor Bartholomew started out as economists. Though their paths may not quite have crossed, each has left indelible footprints for the rest of us to follow. Just as Professor Bartholomew had touched many lives in his time at the University, Prof Tan continues to share his wealth of experience and knowledge with many of our law students."[5] Tan held this professorship till 2014 when he was succeeded byJeffrey Pinsler.[6] He received the Long Service Medal in 2013.[7] In 2021, he was appointed emeritus professor at NUS.[8]

Death

[edit]

Tan was killed in a traffic crash onUpper Thomson Road in Singapore on 5 July 2023.[9] He was 70. A 26-year-old lorry driver was arrested for careless driving causing death. A video of the incident showed a lorry running over a road divider and crashing into a car that was travelling in the opposite direction.[3] In a memoriam, a colleague noted that "Generations of lawyers, judges, and academics in Singapore have seen further because Yock Lin lifted us up upon his shoulders."[10]
